Two arguments:

Some call it tactics, but it is also embarrassing how they do not value sportsmanship.

I call it bad acting.

lol @ citing the dictionary

calm down you anal-restrained turbonerd

anyways, your definition relies on the subjective definitions of "dishonest" and "unfair."

Now what is "unfair?" i see no rules being broken here. I see strategy. It's akin to bunting in baseball. "BUT IT'S DISHONEST WAAAH WAAAAAH" if we were to pin accusations of cheating on every team who didn't look like they were trying their best 100% of the time then we'd have a lot of DQs now wouldn't we?

Verb

To act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, esp. in a game or examination.

TO GAIN ADVANTAGE. The definition of cheating you fucking moron. Read a book.

ABC news didnt report a full story here. asian players threw up their game as a strategy. the rules go like this, for round 1, #1vs#2, #3vs#4, #5vs#6, #7vs#8. In semifinal, 1v3, 5v7. In the end, 1v5 for gold, 3v7 for bronze. The rule is utterly unfair to strong players no. 2, 3, 4...They actually do it all the time but never got disqualified before. Who benefits from this? the weaker european teams, that's why the gold medal match of 1vs5 is not as exciting as the semi-final where 1vs3.

I think it's the tournament organizers fault. In many other tournaments they have solved this problem by using different bracket system: If you win your bracket you will face the loser of the other bracket in the next round. That way you always benefit from winning.
